Simple single-service setup compared to Snowplow
From 2 comments
We solve the same problem, but with different approach: we aim for very quick-start: snowplow consist from multiple services, EventNative has everything in one service. Also, we…

How adblockers are handled and whether it can detect blocking
From 2 comments
Just curious, do you also detect if content in the web page is changed or if content is blocked by adblock?
